Lace Long Sleeve Flowy Blouse
I'm finally back to writing on this blog after being busy for two months, I still sew some small items and mend a few clothes but haven't sewn new clothes. Until two days before Valentine's arrived, I felt like I had to sew a new blouse to wear to dinner. The blouse had to be in the shade of pink, so I checked my stash and found 2 yards of lace fabric in fuchsia that I don't remember when I bought it. After I had the fabric, I started making the pattern (based on my previous self-drafted blouse pattern) I modified the pattern into a flowy blouse. The pattern was simple, a round neckline, gathered front and back yokes and gathered sleeves with elastic bands. Here is the pattern that I drafted, And after the pattern was done, I cut the fabric as usual. The sewing process was fun and turned out to be easier than I imagined. I sewed the neckline front and back yokes and then attached them to the gathered bodices as shown below. After that, I sewed the shoulder lines togeth
This blouse is so pretty, love the print and I can see how light and airy it is. I'm sure it's going to become a fave to wear!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love the print too so much:)
DeleteThe blouse looks so lovely with the shorts - and the setting of the park really suits the blouse too :). It looks a beautiful place - and it's lovely to see your little boy too.
ReplyDeleteI've added you to the Make a Garment a Month Challenge - you can use the same garment that you make for the Style the Stash Sew-a-Long. There is no pressure to make two! Also, the other sew-a-long will finish at the end of the year, so this allows scope for next year too.
Thank you and I am more relaxed that I can use the same garment for two challenges :-)
DeleteWonderful blouse, dear Hanah! It looks comfortable and fun to wear when the weather is hot, love the picture of you walking through the park with your child, so sweet. There is a giveaway on my blog, if you like to go. Happy week, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment, dear Rosy.
ReplyDeleteOnly now I can sit in front of my computer, I'll check out your blog. Who doesn't like a giveaway? :-))
The print goes well with the blouse and you wear it nicely. Very good muslin test.
